[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Spinals

[Hardy, Elaine]

I didn't test mailmerge using the csv options; losing the formatting would
be a big issue and create even more steps.

We have used mailmerge very successfully during the project to catalog the
GA governor's mansion collection. We used rare book id strips and printed
shelving location, call number, author, title, pub date and the barcode
number on the slips.

Thanks Elaine.  I wonder if you could skip the label interface altogether
by using one of the CSV options under List Actions in Item Status.  You'd
miss out on the call number formatting that the label editor does, though.
